I ONCE WAS A BUDDHIST NUN
By Esther Baker
IVP. 156 pages. £7.99
ISBN 978 1 844 743 841

Some years ago, on an airport bus in Toronto, I listened to Richard Cunningham (UCCF) engage an English Buddhist in conversation.

What attracts a Western graduate to this spirituality? What are they searching for? What do they think Christianity is, that they’ve rejected? I Once Was a Buddhist Nun will equip our Christian witness to friends influenced by Eastern thought — meditation, yoga, or Buddhism.
